Artcore Connecting Threads Residency
About this opportunity
Artcore, in collaboration with Space Studio Baroda, invites two UK-based artists to participate in the Connecting Threads 2027 Winter Residency Programme in Vadodara, India. The approximately four-week residency (beginning January 2027) provides studio space, international travel, accommodation, meals, and a £1,000 bursary. Artists engage in studio visits, discussions, presentations, and peer exchange with artists from across India, exploring cross-cultural dialogue through their practice.
Application tips
Submit a motivation statement (500-700 words) explaining how the residency supports your practice, alongside a strong artist statement (300-500 words). Curate your portfolio carefully: a maximum of 10 images showing recent, relevant work. Demonstrate genuine engagement with cultural exchange and community participation, and commit to active participation in studio visits and public presentations.
